On
Wednesday, February 20, 2013, the Sioux Center Community Schools Board of
Education met in special session to discuss the Kinsey Elementary School
Principal position. The board reviewed application and interview
materials on three candidates that had interviewed with the district earlier that
evening. After reviewing the information the Board of Education extended
an offer of employment to Troy Lentell of Elkader, Iowa. Mr. Lentell is
currently prekindergarten through fifth grade principal at Central Community
Schools, a position he has held for eight years. Mr. Lentell accepted the
Board’s offer and will begin his duties on August 5, 2013.
The Kinsey
Elementary School Principal position became open in April of 2012 when then
Kinsey Elementary school principal, Robert Mars, announced his intentions to
retire. Jill Hulshof, a sixth grade teacher in the Sioux Center Middle
School, assumed the principal duties on an interim basis.
Mr. Lentell
is originally from Bedford, Iowa. Mr. Lentell received his Bachelor of
Arts degree in Elementary Education from University of Northern Iowa in
1998. Mr. Lentell received his Masters of Education from the University
of Nebraska at Lincoln in 2005. Mr. Lentell’s teaching career began at
Crete Community School District in Crete, Nebraska where he was a migrant
education teacher. He then taught third grade at Ankeny Community School
District in Ankeny, Iowa.
Mr. Lentell
and his wife, Melonee, have three children, Summer (13), Benjamin (11), and
Henry (9).
